THE CONDITIONS OF POVERTY.

"There was time when there
was an honest pride in being poor
and a special pride in overcoming
poverty. There were then compare
lively few hopelessly poor, and there
were wider opportunities for those
who cared to break away from their
surroundings. Now, however, there
are so many among the poor who do
not look forward to anything better
that discomfort and irritation have
become chronic. Ifthere were a bet.
ter understanding of the conditions
under which the very poor live and
a clearer definition of the obstacles
in the way of the poverty stricken
who have the spirit to escape
from their environment, and who
are heart,sick with seeking for
and looking for opportunity, there
would be less discomfort and more
ambition. A hopeless man is very
apt to become a reckless man. A
man who can look forward to the
betterment of his condition is always
willing to bear good deal to attain
his object; but, if there is no pros.
pect of anything better, and if, in
spite of all his striving and honest
circumstances grow worse
instead OF better, he is likely to be-
come a worse citizen instead of
better CHICAGO Inter. Ocean,

THE MARTINsBURG HERALD SATURDAY. DECEMBER TO- 1887.
THE MEETING OF CONGRESS.

Both branches of the Fiftieth Con-
gress organized Monday. There
was the usual pleasantries over the
selection of seats and getting things
in working order. Many members
were favored with appropriate floral
attestations from admiring friends.
The Senate presented a strange
appearance to an old.timer in the
gallery, because there were so many
new faces there today. The great
bug-a-boo the Democrats had tried
to scare up did not materialize, and
hence the opening proceedings were
very tame. The Republican Sena-
iors told the Democrats that Faux.
ner could not he seated, and like
good little boys, the Democrats
obeyed. Faulkner was disappoint
ed, because some lady friend had
sent him a floral chair, with an lnvi-
tation to take seat.
The president of the Senate, Mr..
ingalls,, called the Senate to order.
The papers received since the adj
journment were then presented, con-
sisting OF the certificates of election
of Senators Pasco, of Florida; Blod-
gett, of New Jersey, and Chandler,
of New Hampshire. Certificates OF
the Governor OF West Virginia of a
summary of the proceedings by
which the legislature in special ses.
sion elected Charles j. Faulkner as
Senator to fill the vacancy. Protest
of Daniel B. Lucas against the adj
minlstration of the oath OF office to
Charles J. Faulkner. The grounds
of the protest are 1. That the ex-
ecutive of the State of West Virgin
ia has not certified the election of
Charles J. Faulkner under the seal
of the State, as required by act OF
Congress. 2. For reasons set forth
in the brief of Daniel B. Lucas, a
copy of which accompanied the pro
test. 3. Because Charles j. Faux
ner was at the time and state of his
alleged election, on the 9TH of May,
1887, a Judge of the Thirteenth
Judicial district of West Virginia,
and therefore Ineligible to the office
of senator. The protest was laid on
the table and ordered to be printed
in the Record.
Mr.. Hoar objected for the time be
ing to administering the oath of of
flee to Mr.. Faulkner. He under.
stood that whatever question arose
concerning the title of that Senator
to seat arose on the credentials
themselves, the whole proceedings
Of the legislature and the history o.
the case being there disclosed an(
fully recited. Assuming that, in &C
cordance with the usages of the Sen
ate, he would himself be a member
of the Committee on Privileges ant
Elections, he gave the assurance
that the question should be deal
with at the earliest possible moment
so that the gentleman entitled tt
the seat would be able to enter OF
the discharge of his duties as Sena
tor. Mr.. Kenna said that the course
suggested seemed eminently appro
pirate.

The Presidents message deals
mainly with the tariff and surplus
revenue reductions. On the whole
it is satisfactory to the Democrats,
as it seeks to unite the free trade
and protection elements on some
line of action. The President starts
out with the assertion that some
thing must be done to relieve the
financial pressure and embarrass
ment in which the country finds it
self. There is nothing definite, and
a divided Congress is not likely to
apply any heroic measure of tariff or
surplus reduction that will have any
perceptible effect on labor, trade or
money matters. Still the public will
await with hope the results that are
looked for. The message gives more
satisfaction in some states than in
others, in proportion to the manu-.
featuring interests involved and in
fluenced by increase or reduction in
the revenue scale. The President
tries to strike a medium on the tariff
without calling it either free trade
or protection and the action of
Congress and its results alone will
determine whether iT is that chap
Ply medium prayed for in time of
depression. The farmer has "a
plea " on a single ground, that ofthe
effect of a protective tariff on the
wool industry, which the President
terms 4" illusory" because it benefits
the wool-growers at the expense OF
the consumers. The many other IN
favorable conditions under wbich
agriculture now labors, receive no
mention

Science and invention have an
open field in supplying a want great.
~ felt by the surviving friends and
relatives OF those unfortunate men
and women who take their lives by
reason of misfortune of one kind or
another. Men who commit suicide
because they fail in health, business
or employment ; or women who end
their lives rather than face disap-
pointment or disgrace, show little
feeling for their more fortunate
friends and relatives, who have to
bear the blunt of gossip" and the
expences of sepulture. Many take
these misfortunes sadly to heart, as
they interfere with their social and
worldly enjoyments. What is want
ed is an invention that will remove

The Democratic members of the
Senate gave Hon. ID. b. Lucas but
cold comfort in his contest for the
U. S. Senatorship from this State.
1t is Faulkner Or nothing" The
Republicans accorded him a hearing,
and referred the dispute to the pro
per committee. Meanwhile the
privileges af the Senate floor have
been extended to Mr.. Faux
ner. With a solid Democratic vote
of the Senate members, Mr.. Faulk-
ner has the advantage thus far, in
needing one or two Republican votes
to seat him; whereas, even if Mr..
Lucas had solid Republican vote,
it is not likely he could get the one
or two votes necessary from the
Democratic side. Camden had the
politicians with him in his contest,
and he has turned them over to his
next of political kin with all the
party leaders in the State and out.
Even that "Going.toGo" special
wire from Washington to Wheeling
